    Seriously, there's not reason to have this discussion, the NCHC isn't going to add Airforce. If the NCHC added Air Force Acadamy to the conference it would water down the league. 

    agree if you say add AF and you kept cc but if we added AF and dropped CC that's a win for Summit hockey

    Air force isn't joining the NCHC, unless the NCHC added Army. Plus, they'd have a very hard time competing on a year-to-year basis in the NCHC. 

    cc hasn't been relevant for ...........decades?

    The only switch that will happen is

    MIAMI out to CCHA

    ASU in to NCHC

    That's the only realistic change in the 5 to likely 10 year future.

    NCHC under summit or a summit league is not going to happen, it would be foolish and absolutely not in the best interest of UND DU or UMD....  and frankly that's who matter and swing the biggest..... sticks.

    Out past 10 years from now.. who knows, that all depends on the growth of D1 programs in the west, and a different conversation.

    UND etc, isn't going to allow the NCHC to be watered down into an afterthought sport in a plucky low level also-ran league like the summit is in the grand scheme.

    It's not happening, foolish to take it seriously.

    who would you rather have as a conference member (remember you can still play OTHER schools OOC) ......as a fan and as a commish

    Arizona State  or UM-Duluth

    Air Force or CC

    Bowling Green or SCSU

    pretty easy for me....

    I don't think WMU for sure and Miami at least previously wanted to be in a conference with a bunch of division 2 schools and UND and Denver didn't want to be in a conference with a bunch of division 2 schools either and UNO obviously made it known that Hockey is the primary sport on their campus, St. Cloud had to beg and convince the other members they would be committed to hockey financially(and they have been true to their word) when the league could not come to an agreement with Notre Dame to be the 8th team. I remember seeing Motzko and Gasparini together in Grand Forks a couple of times(once at the Pepper) and if I remember correctly I think Gino lobbied on their behalf.

    i do wonder about how safe CC is and maybe even UMD & SCSU are...maybe fenton wants "BIG TIME" schools only...

    Potentially taking orders from and appeasing someone that doesn't take hockey seriously if Fenton leaves. They need to make it known they are all in on hockey as the conference's niche, a la PAC-xx schools investing in Olympic sports.

    if the new summit hockey included commish doesn't realize that d1 hockey a. makes money and b. can actually win a true d1 title they be stupid

    ASU should be in if they are willing regardless of what Miami does. I’m not so sure about discount exit fee unless they vote to change exit fees for everyone. If they do this for one school precedent is set and it makes it easier for other schools to leave including WMU. The NCHC should be considering Michigan Tech and or NMU, Mankato, Bemidji, St. Thomas and Augustana to name a few, (there may be others) as to whether or not ( and if so when) addition of any or all of these teams would be beneficial or detrimental to the conference. Worst case would be losing 2 teams and no replacements. I’m not a fan of hockey under the Summit umbrella yet. 

    what's the difference?
